Review/Giveaway ~ Fall to You by Lexi Ryan

Title: Fall to YouAuthor: Lexi Ryan

Series: Here and Now #2

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Published: June 2nd 2014

Torn between two men…

When I woke up after the accident, I couldn’t remember anything from the last year—including my relationship with Max Hallowell or anything about Nate Crane. Now my memories are returning, but instead of answering my questions, they’re leaving me with more.

The man who broke my heart and wants to be my future…

Max is all I ever wanted, and now he wants to marry me. He’ll do everything he can to fill my life with love, family, and security. I need those things now more than ever. But can I trust him?

The man who stole my heart and wants to let me go…

Nate never made me promises, and I never asked him to. I’d been on the rebound, looking for a distraction, and he made me feel beautiful and wanted when I needed to feel those things most. He says he has to let me go, but what if I can’t let go of him?

With every revelation and every passing day, I feel more like Alice down the rabbit hole. I’m falling. Who will catch me?

Fall to You is the second book in the Here and Now series. It is not a stand-alone and is intended to be read following Lost in Me. Hanna’s story concludes in book three, All for This.

Holy cow! I am loving this series!! It is definitely not one that you can read as a standalone, because the endings have you screaming for the next book. It has characters you love, in a world you can relate to and you get emotionally drawn into the world that Lexi has created.

I liked how this story was told in four parts and we were able to learn more about what happened before the accident. There were multiple perspectives this time – Hanna, Nate and Max's – and I think it gave greater depth to the story.

The struggles with Hanna’s weight are still a big issue in this book and many women would relate to her. Being overweight most of her life has affected her self esteem and confidence. Although Max has been a long term crush, she has never been confident baring her body to him. He would love her to, but the issues that they have faced haven't helped them either. For her to get Nate’s perspective is exactly what she needed for a boost. He is kind and loves her the way she is, he was able to see to the beautiful person she is.

Both guys I have come to love. After the first book I wasn't sure about Max and I didn't really care for him, but after getting his perspective in this book my feelings for him have changed. Max has been struggling with his gym, but will do anything to win Hanna's trust back. Nate is so sweet but he has to work through his own feelings and let Hanna past his walls. They are both different, but both are great for Hanna. They want what's best for her and want to see her happy. I am on the fence about both of them, and will be crushed either way, I know it!

I love Lexi’s writing style and how she has written characters that I adore. The story line was incredible and when the twists were thrown in, it left me in emotional turmoil! Hanna had many challenges to face and learned so much about the people around her and about herself too. This instalment had a gripping ending and now I am hanging for the final book. August cannot get here soon enough!

Complimentary copy provided by the Author in exchange for an honest review.

Once a college English professor, I now write full time. I live in rural Indiana, where, when I'm not writing, I get to hang out with my husband and two kids--a six-year-old boy and a two-year-old hellion, er, girl. Not surprisingly, reading and writing remain my favorite activities, though both come in bits and pieces these days, not the big hunks of time I enjoyed before I had children. When I'm feeling virtuous, I like to go running (I use that word liberally. I'm really, really slow) or do yoga. Don't worry, I'm always careful to balance out such activities with a hearty serving of ice cream or a chocolate martini.

Oh wow, Naomi. That's something that Ms. Ryan could make you change your mind about Max. And that you'll be crushed by either choice Hanna makes?!? Honey, I can't wait to make the time to read this series. But you know, I just might wait til August to start! ;) Fabulous review, girl!!

The way the story is told definitely sound intriguing! I haven't read anything by this author.. actually, I don't think I've heard of this author before, but I do like the sound of the plot and the characters.
